  • If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain?

    Jump

  • Without checking, I would say that it's because the heat dissipate away from the planet and the hot air will eventually cool down while rising? My understanding is that it's hot near sea level because it's where the heat from the sun gets reflected and radiated from the earth surface, correct me if I'm wrong...

  • Google-Amazon connection?

    Jump

  • Still haven't got around installing Lineage on my phone to get rid of Google there

    I'm going through that right now, definetely worth it, but it can be quite a job on some devices, have a spare phone ready when you start :)

  • What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use?

    Jump

  • Windows

  • This sh*t is bananas

  • Why is 60fps a big deal for games?

    Jump

  • Tv and movies don't look choppy because the shutter speed of the camera smooth out the movement with motion blur. Motion blur in games is instead just simulated and not as effective.

    Also as someone else have said a game is interactive and input latency can be as high as 3 frames, which at 30fps would be 1/10s and can be perceived....

  • What do you use to manage operating system images for installation on new laptops and workstations?

    Jump

  • Clonezilla. I usually prepare images in virtual machines and restore them on physical drives.

  • Youthful Optimism

    Jump

  • Agree, but it's usually easier to find a new job with better working conditions than to change them on your current workplace unfortunately...

  • Is this it? Is there anything more to life, am I missing something?

    Jump

  • Agree... The fact that many people here think that if you're not happy woking, eating, sleeping then you're probably ill, it kinda scares me tbh

  • Is this it? Is there anything more to life, am I missing something?

    Jump

  • You realized this much earlier than most people, which is good! Honestly I've never found a good answer to this...

    You can try to minimize the time you spend working by getting a remote job or a part time one, or ideally try to pile up some money to take a year (or any time) off if you're confident that you can get another job after that. Minimize the money you spend on material stuff so that you can work less, or go somewhere on vacation..

    But if you find a good solution please let me know :)

  • Do you genuinely believe that government as a whole actually cares about your best interest?

    Jump

  • Government care that you are in the condition to pay as much taxes as possible. Which honestly is not bad, considering how selfish humans are...

  • Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW

    Jump

  • deleting all NSFW

    Which means they'll have to moderate, i.e. pay for moderators :)

  • Why can’t we fall asleep on command?

    Jump

  • First, for something to be and evolutionary advantage, the people that struggle to fall asleep would have to die more easily or fail to reproduce, while in this case I can only see the opposite: dropping dead asleep regardless of the environment means to be an easy prey.

    Secondly, the reason you probably see it as a downside is because of the hectic way most people go through life today, were you can hardly find a time to sleep; but it's not that during our evolution we could hunt 16 hours/day, nobody was in an hurry :)

  • My little sub of 13, no rules and like 5 posts has been threatened.

    Jump

  • This is so sad, I don't understand how any moderator would still feel ok to stay on reddit... Thank you for sharing

  • Who am I supposed to use as a work reference?

    Jump

  • That's weird, it probably depends on the field you're in, but I've never been asked for references and I had many interviews...

  • WhatsApp and the domestication of users

    Jump

  • Wait, do you mean that your ff account share data with pocket, whether you ever signed into it or not?

  • Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is

    Jump

  • If communities belonged to "lemmy" you would have Reddit. If anything would be forcefully federated it would be a mess. IMHO it's the right balance. I get your concerns about being confusing but given the state of development of the platform most of it will be solved by a better UI and better instance data synchronization policies, etc...

  • WhatsApp and the domestication of users

    Jump

  • I didn't get the part on Firefox too much: isn't pocket just a way to serve (non user tailored) ads? As long as they don't sell your data and its not invasive it should be fine...they have to sustain themselves is some way
